This paper reports on systematic height offsets that have been observed in TanDEM-X by evaluating a large number of digital elevation model (DEM) acquisitions. Besides the expected instrument and baseline offsets, which are compensated in the calibration chain, two unexpected external error sources have been identified that apply to any formation flying bistatic SAR interferometer. The first contribution is due to relativistic effects and can be well explained within Einstein’s special theory of relativity. The second effect is due to differential delays in the troposphere. It is shown that the theoretic predictions are in good agreement with the observed offsets. All necessary corrections have in the meantime been integrated in the operational TanDEM-X processing chain.
